Well my SRX700 is now home and repaired. I know some of you are going to tell me that I got hosed on this but we really like this sled and felt it was worth it. I don't have a heated shop to work in so I could not do this myself at this time. I am looking at building a heated shop this summer. We felt that it was worth the money to pay to have this done right. My local dealer did it. Here is what I got done.
S-8DN-11311-02 Reman Cylinder $460.00 x 2 = $920.00
703-1250 SPX Piston $99.95 x 2 = $199.90
711246 Gasket Set $89.95
8DN-11111-10-00 Cylinder Head $280.99 x 1
8DN-1131A-00-00 Valve $176.99 x 1
8DF-1133F-10-00 Cable, Pulley 2 $66.99 X 1
8DF-1133E-10-00 Cable, Pulley 1 $63.99 x 2 =$127.98
8DN-17641-01-00 V-Belt $99.99
8DN-11603-00-00 Piston Ring Set $47.99
106346 NGK BR9ECS Spark Plug $12.50 x 3 = $37.50
Total Parts $2048.28
Labour 7 Hours x $100 = $700.00
Shop Supplies $37.45
Bill $2785.73
Taxes $278.60
Total Bill $3064.33
Here is the explanation of what they did:
Remove Engine and Give estimate of Repairs - 2 Cylinders and Pistons Bad and Power Valve Cables Bad. Reseal Bottom End and clean all bearings from debris. Install New Pistons and Rings and Cylinders - Check Chain Tension. Remove Seal = Seized and Bleed Cooling System. Install Power Valves and Cables and Adjust Set Cable Play to Spec = New / Will Stretch = Retighten after break in period. Clean Carbs and Replace Fuel = Added Oil for first tank of fresh fuel. Install New Spark Plugs. Test Run = Works Good.
Recommendations
Use Premium Fuel Only
Add 100 ML of Oil for First Tank of Fuel and Monitor All Fluid Levels.
So I have been thinking about this on the way home and I have a couple of questions.
Should I add 100ml of oil to every fresh tank as some added insurance?
They told me that they would have to do the retighten of the power valve cables and that is something I could not do myself. Is that true?
Any other advice now that I have an almost new top end rebuild?
